THE OFFICIAL KOBE 9 THREAD ****** WHAT THE KOBE RELEASED ******** BHM RELEASE 1/19

[maadmatt]

I've purchased from SNS before. I paid $200 plus like $12 shipping for some Jordan's. That was retail and shipping. No tax. No fees

 

[jretro23]

i want those black tb's man

 

[lypac]

That all black and all blue are a go for me. Hopefully we get a chance to scoop them up during the year if they ever release in outlets.

UPS incorrectly sorted/lost my Dusty Cactus EMs, and I'm not totally sad about it. If I get a refund I'll go after the Hero Highs, need a draft day colorway.

I got a $48 customs fee on a pair of Kobes I ordered from End! FedEx told me it was based on the weight, size of the package and the item (type). Im disputing it, but just be prepared. I was expecting half that based on another pair of $200+ and similar priced shoes I bought from End.

If I remember correctly, SNS uses UPS so cant say for sure if they use the same fee formula.

 

[ballyeaz]

so im planning on making the BHMs my beaters for balling. should i go tts or half size down? i've heard flyknits loosen up considerably after using them for a while is this true?

 

[kimterran]

I ball in the elite highs and TTS is perfect for me

I think it would be more of the lunar breaking down than the FK loosening that would give you more room.

So the value of the shoes were over $200?

US customs does the calculation, really depends on what they marked the package as and the value/size/weight. Ends gigantic double box probably didn't help out

its very 50/50 and everyone's foot is different along with everyones preferences are different.  its really best to try to visit a shop and try both on.  Think about your own preferences too, if you like your shoes slightly loose or roomy at the toe box or if you like them really snug and not much toe room.  hope that helps.

I love their giant box - my shoe box is always perfect.

Flip side of that, I bought the Copperhead/Jake the Snakes from CNCPTS and they jammed the shoe box into a box like exactly the same size. Shoe box crushed.

Yeah, Kobe box is already big enough, then add their big box around that.


In both thise cases, yes both pairs were $200+. One twice the fee of the other, but not twice the size, weight, price, or different value code (for type of item) used. Under $200, youre good

those royal blue and black TBs

Do you get the fee later or when they deliver the shoes? How does that work.

 

[ballyeaz]

just ordered from SNS. i'm in LA, i hope i dont get raped with the custom fee.

Did you use code "sneakers" - saves 10 percent and gets the cost of the shoe under 200 before shipping!

 

[hiphopisdead]

Can't believe they haven't disabled that sneakers code yet.

FedEx you get it later 1-3 weeks by mail

UPS usually on delivery

DHL by mail


If youre getting a shoe you really want, dont worry about it too much

 

[meniac]

I keep getting "This item is not available for sale at the moment." on SNS...

Edit: nvm got through

 

[lypac]

I thought I didn't get hit but I guess I should expect that bill. Darn.

Thanks for explaining it to me.
